The idea is to read books with a royal theme ie Kings, Princesses, Queens, Dukes, Knights, Castles, Kingdoms, Quests etc. This challenge is hosted by Adriana Garcia over at https://shesgotbooksonhermind.blogspot.com/ .

You can read any type of books for this challenge. Picture books, graphic novels, manga, and audio books are allowed in this challenge.
  • Re-reads are allowed as long as you don't use the same book twice.
  • You may join whether or not you have a blog. You can join through Goodreads, twitter, or any other appropriate site. 
  • Every month there will be a wrap-up post available. You can add reviews, discussions, and view other readers progresses through that post. If you want you can just comment what you've read as well.

  1. I don't think I have enough to read to justify joining but I think I have two books with this theme on my list to read. I don't like joining a ton of challenges - just because I can't keep up with them!

    1. I was excited by this challenge as I could fit in Tudor fiction, non fiction about the British Royals and fiction on the Plantagenets! Any books set in Fae Courts, romances with dukes, fantasy realm courts etc can also be fitted in which should make it interesting to see what everyone is doing.
